> Why not use AI to detect and avoid scams?

Why would the scammer go thru your detector?

How would the scammer communicate with you?

Phone? The network could spot sources exhibiting robocall patterns. AI could analyze live conversations and warn the recipient on certain patterns.

Instant messaging? There's spam and abuse screening built into most IMs already. AI could [locally/privately] analyze conversations.

Email? Ditto; analyze conversations, a bit deeper than basic junk mail filters already do.
